You must configure the Corticon server on your PAS for OpenEdge to make it available for deploying projects.

By default, the PAS for OpenEdge instance (oepas1) gets created during the installation of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.

By default, Corticon Server is a part of the Corticon Studio installation but has the following license restrictions:
  • The request must come from the same machine on which the server is running. Requests from any other machine or host are disallowed.
  • Only a single reactor is available per Decision Service. This means that only one Decision Service can be executed at a time. This allows you to deploy multiple Decision Services simultaneously. Since ABL is single-threaded and since this license is intended for a single-user development scenario, it is ideal for the intended use case. If you want to test the system more thoroughly, you must purchase a proper licensed server.
Note: These conditions only apply to the execution of a Decision Service. They do not affect the service availability check and other administrator functions.

To configure the Corticon server:

  1. Based on the Corticon Server (purchased or default) that you are using, do one of the following:
    • If you are using the default Corticon server that comes with the Corticon Studio installation, copy the Axis.war file located in the Corticon Studio installation directory to the OpenEdge %WORK%\oepas1\webapps directory.
    • If you have purchased the Corticon server license, download the Corticon Server for Java Archive from the Progress Download Center available at http://www.progress.com/esd, and copy the Axis.war file located in it to the OpenEdge %WORK%\oepas1\webapps directory.
  2. Start PAS for OpenEdge.
    1. Open the Servers view in an OpenEdge perspective of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge by selecting Window > Show View > Other > Server > Servers > OK.
    2. Select the OpenEdge PAS instance and then, select Start in the context menu or on the Servers toolbar.
    Note: You can also start PAS for OpenEdge from the Proenv command prompt using:
    1. Select Start > Progress > OpenEdge 12.0 > proenv
    2. Press Enter
    3. Type cd oepas1\bin
    4. Press Enter
    5. Type tcman start
  3. In a web browser, enter the URL for the PAS for OpenEdge with default ports: http://<hostname>:<port>/axis, and go to the Corticon Server console to verify if the Corticon Server is successfully installed.
    The Corticon Server Console login page appears after successful installation. The Corticon server has the following five defined server console login user names:
    User name Password
    admin admin
    administrator changeme
    modeler2 modeler2
    modeler1 modeler1
    Tester tester
    Note: See the Progress Corticon Documentation for more information about using the Corticon server and for other installation options.
